Centre Loaded Helically Wound 1/2 Wave

The "G Whip" backpacker antenna consists of two helically wound units representing a reduced 1/2 wave dipole and it is centre loaded (coils are inserted between the main helical stem and the resonator half way along the length of each 1/4 wave element), the antenna covers 3.5 to 28 Mhz. (No tuner required) and is around 12 feet (4 Mtrs) in total length.

A lightweight version of the base station antenna that packs into a sturdy 45 " carry tube with strap. Ideal for portable HF operating.

Can also be used as a mobile antenna as it is 2 x 1/4 wave resonant units (mobile mount needed).

Covers 10/20/40/80 Metres as supplied, other frequencies available on request, coils made to order (Note: Not 160 mtrs).

Built to the same standards as the "G Whip" base antenna but uses a lightweight potted centre box supplied with mounting clamps for 1 1/4" tube, can be mounted on a tripod or short mast, 2 helically wound 26" fibre glass stems with solid brass fittings, coils for 20/40/80 Mtrs, stainless steel resonators and whips.
